14 injured in Hamilton Bus crash

HAMILTON — Police said 14 people sustained minor injuries after a bus went off of the northbound side of Interstate 295.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known, but the bus went through the guardrail and down a steep embankment at about 3 p.m. Saturday

Police said no other vehicles were involved. Passengers who made it out of the bus were seen being evaluated by EMS at the scene.

State Police Sgt. Brian Polite told The Trentonian that one person was being treated for a minor hip injury. The remaining passengers were taken to area hospitals after suffering minor bumps and bruises as a precaution, police said.

The bus was initially reported to have rolled over, but Sgt. Polite said that the bus remained upright.

It was reported that the bus had departed from Philadelphia carrying about 50 people and was on its way to New York when it crashed.

Police are still investigating why the Bolt bus went off of the road. The crash snarled traffic on the northbound side of 295, in addition to other area roads, while crews worked to clear the bus from the scene.
